I did adapt the pattern slightly, mainly the feathers on the wings and the feet, but they look more or less the same as the photo in the instructions. </div><div><br></div><div>Now he sits proud on the shelf of the nursery with an old crochet project, the African flower hippo.</div>Emma Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385355161750080596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000243896019043389.post-53537100209822580922019-12-30T05:05:00.001+01:002019-12-30T05:05:32.901+01:00Embroidery for Christmas<div>Along with the crochet table gifts I made this year were some embroidered plushies. One cat plush and two mousey cat toys. The cat is made with the usual method I tend to take where although stuffed, I make a more 2d shape where the two pattern pieces are identical and simple stitched around the seam. For the mice cat toys I used a 3d technique using four pieces of material in total for the stuffed body and head shape. The cats already love them, I don't know what it is, the shape perhaps, the colours or those tails. </div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

No patterns followed but took inspiration from Pinterest finds. The Saxophone was by far the most difficult, the proportions aren't exact but I'm happy overall. The burger I thought was a great success, I think this one is all about having the appropriate coloured yarn, especially for the burger bun. I used large wooden beads and embroidery flows with a 2mm hook to make the crochet beaded keyring. Finally, for the owl I decided not to stuff it but leave it as two pieces crocheted together. <div><br></div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One a cat and the other a frog. There were other animals available too, I wish I'd bought them all because they were so easy to make and so cheap. The yarn is synthetic but it is quite soft and durable. I made grannny squares, more a lace style to save yarn in order to make as big a square as possible. For the cat comforter I finished with a picot border and for the from comforter I finished with a double crochet (UK) border.</div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the cream cardigan I used a cotton synthetic blend with a 5mm hook to increase the size of the overall cardigan suitable for 0-3 months. I made the sleeves shorter by making only three rounds of the shell motif as opposed to seven rounds which creates a full length sleeve. Although difficult to predict the exact size of baby, by the time my baby is about this age, the spring season will be upon us so I chose to crochet some five petal flowers and attached them along the empire line. In the center I embroidered a french knot in a matching colour to the buttons. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div><div><br></div><div>For this second cardigan I used a much finer lambs wool yarn and a 3.5mm hook. This cardigan measures in a size suitable for newborns. I kept the sleeves of this cardigan long, however I did not finish them by decreasing and creating a cuff. Instead I kept the sleeves at the same width, stitch count, all the way down and left the sleeves open, a bit like a fluted sleeve. I thought that this design would look lovely with a long sleeved top underneath in cream, or even something ribbed or with a lace cuff. To fasten I chained a tie on either side of the opening instead of attaching buttons as I thought this would allow the opportunity to fasten the cardigan loosely in case baby is big. I made matching socks using a classic sock pattern then for the cuff I crocheted two rounds of the shell stitch and finished off with a round of double crochet (UK). I also added decorative his made from chained pieces to complement the cardigan.</div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr">
I've begun studying a masters degree in philosophy. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Mindfulness and Mindful Stitch is all about managing my thoughts through crafting. I still find this a valuable tool to have, and believe it's very important to take time to slow down. I still believe that our mental wellbeing is very much reliant on our pace of doing and thinking. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I realised, however, that as beneficial as mindfulness is as a calming exercise, I am who I am and concentrating the mind on crafting is not possible all day every day. I accepted that I am somebody that over thinks perhaps more than others, but this needn't be a bad thing. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I enrolled on a masters in philosophy course as an opportunity to think intensely with the purpose of seeking truth. I allow my thoughts to run away and for once it feels appropriate. It's good to experience the unanswerable, but to.just try your best. It's also a way to believe in your own thoughts and ideas. When crafting I believe in my work in the sense that I know it is never wrong, but with thinking, my thoughts, my brain, I always felt so insecure that I was wrong. Philosophy has given me the confidence to believe in my thoughts, it has helped me thus far to manage my overthinking in a well-articulated way. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Mindful practices focus the mind, and I feel perhaps not unwelcome, however not always useful, ends up hiding away from methodically working through thoughts. Philosophy has personally and academically given me tools to embrace overthinking in a context that encourages such behaviour.</div>

I'm not going to go into too much detail. To do with addiction, mental health, and trains. This crochet super lady is me, me being strong against the world. I am not a superhero in the sense that I can stop trains in their tracks. Neither can I invent a pill to cure all mental illness. Nor can I speak loud enough to stop addiction. Despite everything I can't do, I'm still a superhero lady. I can be the force that protects me and my world. Just like in super hero comics, the super hero can't save everyone or everything, they can only save what they were meant to save. The 'universe decides' is not evidence for anything. Why events manifest is undecided. Why love doesn't conquer all is still a mystery to me, but if love did conquer all we'd be better able to predict the events of our future, right? I took the love I have for those people I had once been so close to and used it as power. So that that love still exists, just in my superhero me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Superhero me, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Courage to change the things I can,</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">And wisdom to know the difference.</span><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></div>Emma Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385355161750080596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000243896019043389.post-13829572224210880572018-06-14T09:24:00.001+02:002018-06-14T16:41:50.186+02:00Macramé Plant Hangers (2)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iavv4cRqRHSubNo2OXZMPqbpd8MzAfcHn4iPxHelDwM3zWTWrZIxLj-i0xyOthhDerK6HiwWRAIO9Rm8m8boWZ5pqB5ICUpUbN0zIy9XwQs1tbNUkbpHZNsHt5O37pZcS8bQnqNWJtk_/s1600/IMG_20180613_091915_448.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iavv4cRqRHSubNo2OXZMPqbpd8MzAfcHn4iPxHelDwM3zWTWrZIxLj-i0xyOthhDerK6HiwWRAIO9Rm8m8boWZ5pqB5ICUpUbN0zIy9XwQs1tbNUkbpHZNsHt5O37pZcS8bQnqNWJtk_/s640/IMG_20180613_091915_448.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used twine to make the plant hanger above. One thing I've learnt and would definitely recommend to anyone attempting this dangerous craft, is be aware of the health and safety measures. Joking aside, I do think it's important to wear a mask when you're using a very loose fibre twine like I did (hemp is it?). Tying those macramé knots just catapulted fibres into the air and your bad cough will distract you from your crafting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These beads were a great find in Emmaüs un Metz, once lovely necklaces now lovely plant gems.

Steps.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I want to make a collection of drawings and textile pieces on the subject of love and addiction. From my experiences, I will aim to illustrate a side to addiction that shows the struggles, pain, frustraion, hope, faith, spirituality of someone who loves an addict. I want to submit this collection to The Luxembourg Art Prize, with the ultimate goal of sharing my journey (thus far), highlighting aspects of a world of love and addiction, and generate dialogue around mindful craft practices to hopefully help others in love or in addiction. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Love :</b> Deep Affection </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Addiction :</b> The fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. </span><br />

<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My understanding:</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Love :</b> Things that bring me joy. Activities that I get pleasure out of doing. People, to love someone, my most powerful manifestation of love. Love, the best gift we have to give. Love, to surrender. Love, to risk. To better to world. Love is to have a whole heart. Love never goes away, it is always present. We all have the ability to love. We share this quality. Love for the greater good, act with love for the greater good. Love might be painful sometimes.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>A written look back</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Over the past years, months, days and even hours to be completly exact, I've learnt a lot about the painful, pit ridden, road of addiction. I have not been updating my blog here as thoroughly or as regularly as I would like, and that's because I've been off in another world. A world where I've been trapped by promise, manipulation, hope and good faith, but most strongly by a bond of love.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am writing this as someone that has been on a constant quest my whole life to change people, to make them better, make them happy, not from a selfish point of view necessarily. I don't try to change hair style, dress sense, music they listen to or even opinion, that's why I love them, because of these things. Change them back to how they used to be. The best version of themselves. Objectively, not because I think so. Recover their natural best self. But sometimes that's impossible.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fixated, that's a funny word isn't it, I became fixated on helping people, recovering their once perfect (to me) selves, their enjoyment for life and living. Fixate, fix. Personally when I think of the word fixate it comes with a lot of negative, unhealthy feeling. People rarely say I'm fixated on the positive, no, you're always compulsively fixated on the negative. Fix. To repair, to secure. Fixate, obsessive attachment. They become fixated on whatever high they think they need. I see maybe the word fix in fixate is to secure tightly those thoughts. I certainly don't see the fix in fixate as a way to repairing an unwelcome situation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Acceptance of inablilty to have what you once had is difficult. To accept who they once were is no longer there, underneath probably somewhere in their soul, but I can't see that with my basic eyes, basic ears, basic mind. That requires a higher power, or at my best, faith and hope, and eventually you run out of those. When that happens it's time to let go, you are not the one holding all the power, they are. Only they can identify that change, commit to taking that forward, and never becoming complacent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's occurred to me however, that people I've met with addiction have more or less always had some form of bad outlook on the world, the inability to engage in introspection, and a hard time establishing truth and honesty. It's just before, I maybe didn't notice an addiction, it was maybe subtle, maybe I didn't want to see, there's a program for us all. Denial and honesty works to either condone or change. But it's this realisation that makes letting go hard. They maybe always had a problem, so what emperical method do I use to define then and now, that's impossible. You can still have a laugh, have a glimmer of the old person, but was there an old person, is it just the same person, maybe the problem here is I need to adapt, maybe I'm misinterpretating this whole thing, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. No. This is not the efficient way as someone who loves an addict to think.</span><br />

There's something very liberating about making a crochet blanket in the sense that artistically and functionally they're super easy to make, very loose boundaries, they don't even have to be that good. It'll keep you warm, it'll add colour and texture to whatever furniture you throw it on, it'll always fit you if not a super king mattress, pressure's off!</div>

Here I ran out of yarn and had to raid my yarn stash, I was definitely guessing when it came to the edge, and I did a really sloppy job with sewing in the ends. Ok I accept that if omeone paid me money I would take greater care over quality control, but when it's for my home I just want to have fun, I don't want to be stressed over those details, it's a type of letting go. </div>

I've spoke about letting go over those small details before, in life and in crafts, it sucks the fun into the sewer and when you try to enjoy a finish piece, it still wiffs of frustration and niggling (unimportant) annoyances. </div>

Let's find out...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So far, so good, although our cat, Lola, does love that hanging pompom garland you see in the background, but not enough to destroy it, she must appreciate interior design (pffff!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've wanted to get started on some macramé plant hangers for a while now, however I was waiting for the string, cord, yarn? to arrive in the post. Realistically, I only really know one macramé knot, so what you see here is a variety of designs playing with the composition of that one knot. With the addition of beads and different coloured and shaped pots, each plant hanger looks unique. One knot, knot so bad ! Oh. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pressing the bouquet, button hole, or table flowers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had never really pressed flowers seriously before, knowing that I really didn't want to mess this up, I can't go back in time if I do! So I really tried to think about where I was going to press them, what books or other weights I had that I could use, blotting paper (let's do this proper!). I tried to press as many of the flowers as possible, if they were still fairly good looking. I wanted to have back ups. I kept an eye on my bouquet in the days after our wedding in France then later our reception in England, so that I could have them on display to enjoy but I didnt want them to wilt too much because I knew that pressing already dulls the vibrancy of the colours in the leaves and petals, so I wanted then to have as much pigmentaion to begin with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So blotting paper, I had some but realistically I pressed way more flowers than I had blotting paper for so for some I used kitchen roll. As far as I could tell, if you layer the kitchen roll about three times the results are just as good. I emptied my book shelves. The flowers were all such different ticknesses, some 'filler flowers' neede barely any weight applying to them, the thinket ones with much chunkier stems and heads needed a lot of weight. Some of the flowers were so chunky that the books on top of them didn't sit level so I steadied the books with chairs!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Overall it took about twoo weeks until I was happy with houw dry they were, sometimes I had a peak at their progress and felt that the blotting paper/kitchen roll needed changing to ones new and dry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then I framed them :)</span></div>
